Hello Heeters, Julie, Bebe, Wonderland, Cindy, Sue, Hazel, Lucy, and all that follow. Had a moment and thought I would drop in. All is going well, will be back to you on a regular basis soon. Still eating heatlhy and walking regularly. The weather has been a bit on the rainy and chilly side, so not as much outdoor activity going on here as I would like to have happen, but its typical Ohio Weather.
How are you all doing? Seeing some good number losses here on some of the tickers!!!! Great Job everyone. For those struggling, enjoy the holidays and get back on the heeter train and get it in motion going the right direction...........right Julie?
Julie, has your company arrived, and I do hope you and DH have a wonderful visit with them.
Well haven't read all the post and I apologize if I failed to mention anyone or add to something, but time is limited right now, and do still have company here, so will check in after the holiday is over.
Thanks for the Easter Wishes, and Well Wishes, and May you all enjoy this holiday with family and friends. Love you all, Debbie

Good Evening HEETers...
Sue, I'm SO sorry to hear about your daughter! I'm glad she's home with you and hope she heals well and quickly. I'm sure she's a smart girl but make sure she understands the seriousness of the illness. Staph can be really nasty!
I didn't think I would do it but I just couldn't help myself...I've gone in to cleaning overdrive. Everything. Ceiling fans, light fixtures, pictures, nick nacks, baseboards, dust bunnies behind and under the furniture, A/C vents, etc., etc. If you can see it, and a lot of places you can't see...it's already been cleaned or will be tomorrow. It's a little after 8pm and it's the first time I've sat down all day. Still a pretty big list of To-Do's tomorrow but we'll pull it off.
Debbie, company arrives on Thursday evening. We'll go to Orlando to pick them up, an hour away, then come back here for a few days. Then they head up north to their condo and we'll hook up with them again the following Thursday through the weekend. We'll all come back here Saturday and they'll fly out early Sunday morning.
I learned a good lesson today...you know how SO many people say they want to "Put Me first" or "It's MY time", especially when it comes to losing weight and getting fit...I finally get it. I know exactly what that means, on an intimate level. But before I tell you *MY* version, what is *YOUR* version...What does it mean to you to "Put yourself first" when it comes to weight loss??? My insight may not be that profound to you but it's definietely important to me and I just wanted to see what your thoughts were on the subject.
I know this question may get lost during the holiday weekend or you may not be able to put alot of thought in to it but I think it's important so I'll bring it up again next week. Don't answer hastily. Think about it...but in the meantime...
Enjoy your Easter weekend and the time you share with your friends and family! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Hey HEETers!
I hope you all had a great day celebrating in your own special way with family and friends! :flowerforyou:
DH and I continued on our cleaning spree and I took photos. I needed to do it anyway because I need a new "Hurricane Album". I'm searching for a new homeowner insurer and have bought many new things since my last "album" for insurance purposes. Thought there was no better time to do it since the bathrooms have finally been remodelled and the house is sparkling clean. I'll spare you all the open drawers, closets, etc...and we are still working on our offices and the outside. I'll post thost later...With that in mind...Welcome to my house...:bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
Don't be mistaken...you will NEVER be greated this way! LOLOL!! You will be greeted by at least one barking, snarling ankle biter! Tia is our "Sweet, Quiet One". (Black Mask and White BowTie chest) (My old male) Frito's nick-name is Chainsaw...There's a reason for that! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

An Inside view of the Pantry...still...doesn't even begin to cover the amount of food I have hidden and stashed away...:blushing:

This is our bed...there is no scale here...this bed is HUGE in terms of being tall. Those really are steps on the left side. I have to use them every night to "climb" up in to bed...
More bedroom...my Sweater Chest and one of my closets :blushing: ...
Long view of the bedroom...the closet on the right is ming. The closet on the left is DH's. Still no scale on the dresser (which is all his). I'm 5' 4" and the top comes up to my chest. I can't reach the mirror without a step stool..
My Chest of Drawers behind the bedroom door. Again...super tall!0 -
Here are a few close ups....
Some ancestor of mine from the 1800's was a sculptor, that's why I keep these encased in glass...this is Jesse...her name is inscribed in the bottom of her bust but I don't think it will come through on this photo...
This is the guy I call Abe...He looks like Abraham Lincoln to me. But...he also looks like a gent that I have a Tin Photo of...so...who knows....I also have a guy I named George (after George Washington) but his head broke off. Neither he nor Abe were "fired" ???? They crumble to the touch, unlike Jesse. She's pretty solid and doesn't crumble.
What you probably can't make out here is another sculpture. The "white" thing on the right side. I'm going to have to take another picture of it but the back side is inscribed "U.S. J. Dunbar to Miss Leighton". Miss Leighton was my GGGrandmother. The "U.S." signature is typical of Civil War era so I can only assume he was a Civil War Soldier. The little book off to the left is a Methodist Hymnal dated 1849 and the wooden box next to it contains two Quill pens along with the Ink Well above it. The soft book standing on the right side reads Geometry on the outside but is filled with recipes that are over 100 years old. These are all truly treasures to me. 0 -
That was so much fun for me! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I hope you enjoyed your tour of my house! I love my little house. I knew it from the minute I drove by when I was house hunting that "this" was my house (and it looked NOTHING like what it does today but I saw it's potential ) It took some work but I turned it in to my grown up version of a Doll House and I love it and love sharing it with people. Once I get my office cleaned up you can see where I post from! But it's WAY late and I have to get to bed...
Nitey Nite HEETers!
Julie0 -
Julie, Thanks so much for the tour of your home. It's so funny because when I was looking over your pictures I was thinking " Julie's house looks just like a doll house!" I love the way you have it decorated.
We had a nice day today. I woke up at 6am with a terrible sore throught. I took some meds and whent back to sleep until 11.45 am. I woke up ,took more meds and had some lunch. I did dishes and swept and then decided I felt well enough to go walk 2 miles. We had a nice walk. I felt better and better as the day went on. We went for another 2 mile walk after dinner. I didn't get to work out at all yesterday. We had terrible storms yesterday and last night. Golf ball sized hail and wind gusts up to 70 mph. We needed the rain we got so all is well. I was so glad to get back to my walking today. I didn't stray food wise all weekend. My weigh in is tomorrow morning . I hope I have lost at least 2 pounds this last week. I hope everyone had a great weekend! Tomorrow is a new day ! Let's make it a great one! I'll talk to ya all in the morning. Sweet dreams- Cindy 0 -

I've been losing on average 2.5 -3 pounds a week and 3 weigh ins ago I didn't lose an ounce. I think either my body was adjusting to everything or I was retaining water. But 6 pounds YIPEEEEEE!!!!!! I'm estatic! :bigsmile: Ok for breakfast- 1 cup Fiber One honey clusters cereal w/ 1/2 cup 1 % milk. Lunch will be 1 cucumber sliced up w/ 1 tbs light ranch dressing. I cup of light fat free yogurt, 1 turkey dog on 1 whole wheat bun. Snacks will be -1 fiber one oats & peanut butter bar and 1 fresh apple. Dinner will be leftover ham and veggies. lots of veggies. Fresh green beans, brussel sprouts and some stir fried zuchinni. I will drink 1 gallon of water today. I will also do my 3 mile watp and power walk 2 miles outside. I hope everyone has a great day!

Hello Heeters,
Time to get back on track everyone!!!! Way to Goooooooooo Cindy~you are doing great!!! I weighed this morning and stayed the same now for a few weeks, seems I can't budge, but not gonna give up.
Julie loved the pics, you have a very nice place. Bebe good to see you. Hi to Lucy as well.
Just finished lunch. Had ham slices, potatoes and egg noodles, and a slice of pumpkin roll. Yum Yum. Just relaxing after having company for 4 days. Is nice when they come but nice to get back to our routine and settle back into our lifestyle we know and love.
Well just wanted to wish you all well and don't lose sight of your dreams.
love, Debbie 0 -
Hi everyone! Good morning and nice to see you all posting today. Well, guess it is afternoon. That is my day.
Julie, loved looking at the pictures of your house. A doll house for sure. Love all your collectables that are so precious to you as it should be. I can see your house is as precious as you are.
Cindy, way to go! Congratulations! Your weight loss is the product of your success in that you have been so focused on your goal, drinking your water, eating healthy and exercising. You are an inspriation, indeed. Like a teacher, you have your life organized alright. I could learn from you.
Bebe, it is nice to see you popping in. I know you are doing good, girl. Looking forward to hearing from you more.
Debbie, it is so nice to have you back in the group posting. always love hearing what you have to share.
My family are all far away so we don't get much visitors, so enjoy them when they do come. When I lived close to family, they all were at my house most of the time and I enjoyed every minute of it. But have been away for many years now and though a bit lonely, I am adjusting to life with my dear DH. He truly is so sweet and wonderful. you will see when we all meet.
My day yesterday started out really well. Until dinner. Gave in and had a Sonic Patty Melt which made me sick. I'm glad it did make me sick for now I know, that is not the kind of food for me to eat.
Today is a new day. Breakfast consisted of 1 egg omelet with 1 slice of bacon, sliced fresh mushroom and spinach. yum yum. Snack was south beach dark chocolate covered soynuts and 1 small pkg of hersheys extra dark chocolate with pomegranate. No lunch yet. Dinner will be meatloaf with ground turkey and green beans. Guess I should think about lunch but with eating the chocolate, I am not hungry.
Will be going to the gym this afternoon to do some cardio (I hope) and water aerobics.
If I am going to do that, i need to finish my Bible study for tomorrow morning meeting.
Have a fabulous day, gals.
Waving to Yari, Steph, Toni, Kath, Lucy and the rest to follow...:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
Back again. Just had my lunch of yogurt with some flaxplus granola cereal. off to prepare my meat loaf before going to exercise. TTFN0

Hi Heeters, Today has been a great day! It's beautiful here in Odessa, Tx . The sun is shining and it's warm enough for t-shirts and shorts. I spent time outside today playing with the kiddos. You wouldn't believe all the hummingbirds we have. I love watching them. I'm exited to tell you I'm getting a new to me suv. It's an 07- GMC, Yukon. I haven't had a vehicle since we moved to Texas. My dh uses our truck for work. I have been going back and forth on what I wanted to buy. I finaly found the perfect vehicle. I love it. I hope everyone has had a great day! Did we all manage to drink our water and exercise? I need to go do the dishes and sweep the kitchen. I doubt I'll be back tonight. I'm still a little sick and I feel worn out. I'm going to do the dishes, have dinner, go for my walk and then straight to bed. Have a great evening! Cindy 0

Hi Heeters, hope all of you are doing well. Just wanted to drop in and say hello. Glad to get things back to normal here. DD goes back to school tomorrow as they are now making up winter snow days they were off so they can still end the school yr. on June 3rd.
Today was rainy, but managed to get my vegetable seeds sowed before the rains came, and within 55 days I should begin to have some on and ready to pick and I am excited. Going to do some flowers but not until Memorial Day weekend when we have little possibility of frost.
Well over the weekend I received my new pedometer and I love it. It was the one I told many of you about that was sold through Avon. It is very accurate and I am going to give it a work-out this week and see if I can't get past this first plateau. I am not discouraged, battling health issues I am just glad for the lbs. I have lost and the energy I have found to keep me going.
Well won't keep you glad to be here with all of you.
Take care, Debbie0 -
Good morning HEETERS sistas! Forgot your saying Julie .... it's Tuesday. :-)
Cindy, congratulations on your new SUV. Wow! Way to go! You are going to LOVE your new wheels, I know. I had been without my own for a few years and the bus was my mode of transportation. But now that I am retired, my hubby bought himself a gently used Grand Cherokee Chief which he loves. I get the Toyota Prius and that is good for my running about so I am not stuck at home. I know the feeling and I am sooooo happy for you and the children will be too. I really like those big Chevy SUV's. I am sorry to hear that you are still a bit under the weather. You sure do go, however. Walking, drinking and eating healthy. keep up the great work you are doing and soon you will be down another 6 lbs. !!!!
Suzi, thinking of you this morning and praying for your daughter. Has she gone back to school yesterday? How are you doing? We would love to hear from you.
Lucy, have I missed you? and Yari, Kath, Steph, Toni? Have I been MIA somewhere? Looking forward to hearing from you all and I pray you are having good healthy progress.
Julie, LOL on that spam sandwich. I thought it was only us islanders that ate spam but am finding out more and more people I meet eat it too,. :-)
Debbie, keep up your positive thoughts and watch your diet (healthy) as I am sure it will help with what ever your health issues may be. I know it is helping me a whole lot! Whew! It's been a looong time for me. But now, well, I am enjoying my new healthy lifestyle and with DH plugged into it, life couldn't be sweeter.
Okay, what's on the menu for today? Breakfast poached egg on wheat toast and half a papaya. Lunch is tuna fish on celery sticks. Snack???? Bible study today whatever goodies they have there will be eaten, I can vouch for that. Lord, help me be strong and make good choices. Dinner is left over turkey meatloaf and I may go to the store and buy some red potatoes to make some mashed to go with the turkey meatloaf. Doesn't that sound great? I know my DH will appreciate some for sure. Poor guy hasn't had any for quite some time. and, will add some green salad with that. Desert??? peaches or should I make that upside down pineapple cake with the fresh pineapple I already have cut up in my refrigerator? Must find a recipe first. Sounds like too much work eh? But, I can dream, can't I? hee hee hee.
Bebe, I know you are doing great out there in the Bahamas. You go, girl. I know you can do it. What kind of island recipes are you fixing these days? I enjoy eating gourmet so share a few recipes, will you? Especially if they are low calorie.
On face book this morning, I see my friend sharing a roasted pork loin. Very low calorie and I think I will have to add that to the menu soon.
Have a fantastic Tuesday everyone. Eat healthy and exercise. Drink lots of water too. That goes especially for me who is struggling with the 8 glasses. Yesterday made it to 7. Today is another day.
Looking forward to hearing from ya'll. TTFN. 0 -
Debbie, I am excited to hear you doing your garden. I have been wanting to learn how to do a garden. Could you help me get started? I know I will need to get me some soil but maybe I can do container gardening so I wouldn't have to bend down too low? What is your opinion on that? Imagine being able to harvest fresh out of your own garden! I am envious of you. You go, Debbie. What kind of vegetables have you planted?0
